Social distancing serves to protect the health of vulnerable populations, and <br />ensures that essential public services, such as nutritional programs, are taking steps to <br />protect the public. <br />In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, we are bolstering our preventative and <br />social distancing measures to include the implementation of the following procedures for <br />the C1 Take Home Meals Delivery Program. The implementation of the procedures will <br />be made with the dual goals of protecting the health and safety of all seniors while taking <br />all necessary and deliberative steps to assure continuity and avoid the disruption of <br />nutritional services. <br />25B-16 <br />
